Chapter 7: Rather than loving my daughter, I'd rather love my nephew



"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is called Shen Changfu, my husband is his eldest son, Shen Jinquan, and my name is Liu Xu. I came to see my sister Caihua."

Liu Xu finished speaking hastily, looking straight into the Qin family's yard.

She only found out last night that that bastard Shen Changwang had married Caihua to Qin Li.

Everyone said that Qin Li could kill a wild boar with one punch. Cauliflower girl was already very pitiful, and now that she married Qin Li, she was afraid that she would have no way to survive.

Now the team is busy with the autumn harvest, and she can only visit her during her free time at noon.

Chen Tan, who was in the yard, heard the conversation between the two people outside the yard, and immediately thought of the cousin-in-law who warned the original owner not to let men see her body and secretly gave her mixed flour steamed buns to eat.

The old women in the village often told the original owner that she lived in the hands of Liu Xu.

Without the catkins protecting her, she would have died long ago.

She took a few quick steps and bumped into Liu Xu, who was invited in by Wu Xia. "Sister-in-law Jiu!"

Shen Jinquan was the ninth child in the Shen family, so the original owner called Liu Xu "Sister-in-law Nine".

"Cauliflower, are you okay?"

Liu Xu is in her thirties, with a dark yellow complexion, a thin figure, and looks as old as a woman in her forties or fifties.

She circled around her happily and worriedly.

Chen Tan was also very grateful to this person who truly cared for the original owner. She held Liu Xu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, I'm fine. Grandma Qin and Brother Qin treat me like their own child. Don't worry."

"That's good. I'm relieved that you're okay." Liu Xu smoothed Chen Tan's frizzy short hair and looked at Qin Qiuniang, speaking earnestly, "Grandma Qin, my sister Caihua may look young, but she's very well-behaved and sensible, and she learns things quickly. As long as you teach her carefully, she'll learn everything. It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat well. I just ask you not to hit her."

The pleading in her tone was obvious, and Wu Xia laughed out loud. "Her sister-in-law, don't listen to what people say. Qin Li is a very good person. He loves Caihua so much that he couldn't wait to hit her."

Liu Xu smiled awkwardly twice, his eyes fixed on Qin Qiuniang, hoping that she could give a guarantee.

Qin Qiuniang had long heard about the Shen family in Xiahe Village. They were a bunch of scoundrels.

At the beginning, she did not agree with Qin Li going to Xiahe Village to find a girl to serve her.

But as winter was approaching and he was about to get busy, she had no choice but to agree to let him find Chen Yinhua.

Unexpectedly, God was kind enough to send a relatively sensible boy named Chen Tan to their family.

"Her sister-in-law, today I, an old woman, use my reputation to prove it to you. Whatever we eat at home, your sister Cauliflower will eat, and whatever we wear, her clothes will definitely not be worse than ours. If we want to touch her, just go to the county police to arrest us."

Her words were so powerful that Liu Xu felt warm inside. She bowed to her gratefully, "Grandma Qin, you are all good people. I trust you. I have one request. Caihua hasn't had her period yet, so we can't consummate the marriage. Please wait a little longer."

"You haven't had your period yet?"

Qin Qiuniang looked at Chen Tan with pity, and remembered that Qin Li said that her household registration book said she was twenty years old. At such an old age, she still had not had her period. It seemed that her body was seriously injured.

"Okay, I promise."

These words made Liu Xu feel relieved. After thanking her again, she took Chen Tan's hand and said, "Caihua, Grandma Qin is a good person. Please take good care of her. It's getting late, and my sister-in-law has to go to work."

"Ninth sister-in-law, I'll see you off," Chen Tan turned around and looked at Qin Qiuniang and Wu Xia, "Grandma, aunt, I'll see my sister-in-law off."

The two of them smiled and nodded. They realized that Liu Xu had something to say to Chen Tan alone, so they said a few polite words and did not follow him out.

Liu Xu pulled Chen Tan to the corner outside the courtyard and whispered, "Caihua, you must remember this: before your period comes, you must not let Qin Li touch you."

Looking at the people who truly care about him, Chen Tan felt warm in his heart, "Sister-in-law Jiu, Grandma Qin and Brother Qin are very good. They gave me three eggs yesterday and white rice porridge this morning. They won't hurt me. Take good care of Suonier and don't worry about me."

Liu Xu's husband, Shen Jinquan, is the eldest son in the family and a typical foolish and filial son.

Liu Xu married him at the age of sixteen.

After marriage, she was unable to conceive.

It was not until five years later that a daughter was born.

I never got pregnant again after that.

After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said she was too weak to have a baby.

When her parents-in-law heard that she couldn't have children, they began to abuse her and brainwashed Shen Jinquan, telling him to love his nephew instead of his daughter.

At least his nephews can carry on the family's legacy, and when he dies, his nephews will definitely visit his grave.

Shen Jinquan wasn't that bad originally, but he couldn't stand his parents' constant criticism.

Gradually, he put all his fatherly love on his nephew and showed no kindness to his wife and daughter.

When Liu Xu heard her eating eggs and rice porridge, she couldn't help but pursed her dry white lips.

She smiled sincerely and said, "I'm relieved that you're doing well. I don't have much to give you when you get married, so take these five dollars."

As she spoke, she stuffed a roll of banknotes into her pocket, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, Sister-in-law Jiu, I don't want to..." Chen Tan chased for a few steps, but she was still injured and could not catch up at all.

Turning back to the yard, she held the money in her hand, her heart warmed. "When I was at home, Sister-in-law Jiu often gave me delicious food. She is a good person."

Qin Qiuniang looked at the money and said, "It looks like she has saved it for a long time. She is really kind to you. Remember this in your heart and don't forget to repay her."

Chen Tan put the money in his pocket and said, "Yes, I will."

Wu Xia came over and supported her with a smile, "Haha, your grandma is very knowledgeable and learned. You must learn from her carefully."
